Rapid Yeast and Mold Count Plates Simplify and Accelerate Detection
3M Food Safety has launched the 3M™ Petrifilm™ Rapid Yeast and Mold Count Plate, an indicator test that enables the detection of yeasts and molds in as little as 48 hours. This new plate offers food processors a simplified solution for inoculation along with an easy, consistent way to interpret and enumerate colonies.
Conventional agar testing methods for yeast and molds require a five- to seven-day incubation period, the longest waiting time of all microbial quality indicators. By incorporating innovative new technology, the 3M Petrifilm Rapid Yeast and Mold Count Plate improves time-to-result, productivity gains, finished goods inventory and product shelf life.
